of west santa clara street, that's where they found him and the knife on the ground, not too far away. he's been taken downtown where he is in custody, not clear on how cooperative he is being. they do not believe this is gang related but also not sure what relationship these two men might have had, whether strangers or something else going on. as you can imagine, with the bar, a lot of witnesses. police have sorted out those witnesses, found out which ones were useful, which ones weren't. they have been interviewing or about to interview, to get a better sense of what sounded like a fight, argument that turned into a fight, and obviously a homicide. the sixth homicide for the city of san jose this year. live in downtown san jose, bob redell, "today in the bay." we continue to watch the weather as well. a live look at san francisco. it looks pretty clear out there.

right here at this street corner. the way police described it he wasn't trying to run away, perhaps walking away blending in with the crowd. got a block and a half away from the scene and this knife found on the ground not far from him. this happened around 1:00, 1:15. it was close to last call. two men, both in late 20s, drinking inside johnny v.'s, a bar/nightclub a block and a half down the street on the left here on west santa clara at 1st. some sort of argument spilled on to the sidewalk and then escalated when one of the men pulled out a knife and stabbed the other man once in the upper body. paramedics attempted cpr but no luck. this man declared dead at the hospital. do you know what the fight was about? >> we're not sure. we're still kind of -- we're speaking to witnesses and trying to get details from inside the bar. >> reporter: you have a lot of witnesses, you said earlier?

the amber alert and the car attached to it. that and fbi enhanced video of the suspect take friend safeway surveillance video yesterday. police say the man allegedly caught a worker's attention there by stuffing lobster tails and steak under his jacket and threatening that worker wit a knife as he ran off outside. police believe that his baseball cap, jacket and headphones are probably recognizable to someone out there. this was about 1:00 at safeway on redwood near highway 13. he ran outside and appeared to car jack an elderly man and the teen girl. >> this is unthinkable, to go inside, you don't know if you're going back home. >> reporter: chp issued an amber alert for a burgundy infinity suv initially but the description was changed to the same license plate but now possibly being on a red sedan
